West Rim Bus Tour with Helicopter Ride & River Cruise

The Grand Canyon is one of the world’s most impressive geological wonders. A two billion-year-old gorge eroded slowly by wind and water, the only way to fully take in the canyon’s grandeur is on a top to bottom tour! The West Rim is the only section of the Grand Canyon where you can fly to the bottom via helicopter. Soak up breathtaking views along the way as you make your way by bus, check out the viewpoints along the rim, and explore the canyon floor - all in one day!

Get picked up from your hotel and make your way to the bus depot. As you board a modern motor coach, your adventure begins to unfold with a stop to photograph Hoover Dam from the vantage point of the impressive O’Callaghan-Tillman Bridge.

Your trip continues through the ever-changing desert landscape until you arrive at the entrance to Grand Canyon West and its forest of Joshua Trees. This Native American Tribal Park does not disappoint. It holds traditional dwellings and a Hualapai Market. You can tour replicas of Native American homes, watch traditional dances and cultural performances and experience the excitement of a gunfight!

The day’s activities continue when you climb on board a modern helicopter for the 4,000-foot descent onto the Grand Canyon floor. And the next event begins at the docks on the river as you board a pontoon boat for a trip along the smooth surface of the Colorado River. Look up along the canyon walls as float up the river. After your float trip, the helicopter awaits to whisk you back up to the rim.

Time for a complimentary lunch at your choice of local eateries is included in the price of the tour. Approximately 4 hours is allotted for your Canyon West visit, before the time arrives for the bus to take you back to your Las Vegas hotel.

Upgrade your tour with entry to the Skywalk during checkout!

Situated right across from Eagle Point, visit the West Rim’s exhilarating, man-made Skywalk. A tremendous, U-shaped glass bridge that juts out 70 feet from the canyon’s rim, feel the adrenaline as you walk along the platform, suspended 4,000 feet in the air. An impressive architectural feat, gaze down below you at the canyon floor and rushing Colorado River. This unforgettable experience is a must for any West Rim tour!
